PROOF Alcohol Ice Cream honored with SC Branded 2019 Product Innovation Award
October 21, 2019
Just as the company’s Apple Pie Moonshine hits retail stores across the Carolinas, PROOF Alcohol Ice Cream is recognized as the 2019 Winner of the Product Innovation category of the SC Branded Awards presented by the South Carolina State Chamber of Commerce and The Brand Leader marketing group.
“Our spirits are always elevated at PROOF but receiving this award takes them to a higher level,” said PROOF Founder & CEO Jenn Randall-Collins. “To be recognized for our innovation is one of the highest distinctions we could receive. We’re not just making decadent ice cream, we’re masterfully mixing art and science to create an indulgent experience that truly makes people happy.”
Founded in 2015, PROOF was the first alcohol ice cream to hit the market. The artisan company, headquartered in Columbia, SC, small-batch curates a dozen rotating flavors including Caramel Bourbon, Chocolate Bourbon, Pistachio Rum, and Strawberry Moonshine, using top-shelf spirits and 7% ABV. With patents pending on its formulas and production techniques, the company is busy growing its footprint beyond the Carolinas and positioning its products for national distribution.
“This SC Branded honor couldn’t come at a better time,” said PROOF Chairman Dirk Brown. “We’re poised for significant growth in 2020 and beyond, and we certainly want everyone who enjoys our products to know where they come from. If you’re looking for innovative companies, people and ideas, the Palmetto State doesn’t disappoint. From PROOF’s perspective, South Carolina has all the right stuff.”
The SC Branded Awards include six unique categories: Palmetto Green, Charitable Impact, Farm, Forest & Field, Hometown, SC, Legends, and Product Innovation. PROOF, along with the other five recipients will be honored at the Chamber’s 40th Annual Summit, November 20-21, at Wild Dunes Resort on Isle of Palms.
